    A Midol Vape Would Slap (with Rachel Wolfson)

    This week, Liz sits down with Rachel — comedian, stuntwoman, and the first female cast member of Jackass — for a conversation that is somehow both deeply unhinged and deeply moving. They talk about what it actually means to choose pain, why women have been choosing pain since before it was a franchise, and why emotional pain will always hit harder than licking a taser.    If this episode made you feel seen, made you laugh, or made you text a friend "omg listen to this" — that's the whole point.

    Deinfluencing You From Having an Eating Disorder

    Welcome back to an extra special episode of Boy Problems -- today, we're celebrating one whole year of the show!!! 🎂 🥳 This show wouldn't be what it is today without all of you, so thank you from the bottom of my heart. Today I'm sharing a dose of radical honesty about eating disorders — what they actually cost you (financially, physically, romantically) and why awareness alone doesn't fix them. Everyone's been talking about Ariana Grande's diminishing frame. The concern is real, but so is the anger, the grief, and the uncomfortable truth that our obsession with her body says a lot more about us than it does about her. Also in this episode: Boy Problems is moving to Thursdays (it's always been a Thursday show in my heart,) we are launching a Patreon for close friends only, and I share my thoughts on the hoodie of the summer (spoiler alert, it's boy problems merch!)🎙️✨ Join the Patreon here!

    Whimsymaxx Your Own Disappointment

    This week on Boy Problems, Liz sits down for an emergency debrief on a raw, still stinging, gut-punch of a disappointment - and she's not waiting for the dust to settle to talk about it.

Feeling disappointed is not a sign you did something wrong. It's a receipt for your courage. This episode is for anyone in their 48-hour window right now. Do not make your life smaller. We love you.
